I have had some successs by putting the damaged drive in another machine as a slave and then reading the data off it that way.
Software is only any good if you can access the drive anyway.
The best way to do it is to pay a specialist company to retrieve the data - it costs MEGA bucks though, you could easily buy a new PC for the money
they charge
Good luck

I still have my old drive at hand as this thing happened to me. Another PC won't recognise it either...
Enquired to cost's and received quotes back ranging from £300~£1800 depending on amount of hours spent on it and damage done. They cannot
guarantee to retrieve all data either, you are in the lap of them. Hope you backed up everything on the drive - like I didn't! 
Hope you get it sorted...

I used this a few weeks ago to retreive some data from a drive that was no longer recognized, it took a bit of getting used to but it worked well in
the end , it was FREE too , I also downloaded some demos of other recovery software and they all showed what was retrievable on my disk.
